Best platformer on the NES?

[punqsux]

one rule, no mario games, because that would pring the discussion to a halt when everyone says mario, or mario 3 ^^

i vote adventure island 3

I can't say best, but there is a game called Lickle on NES that is great, but its more actiony megaman like than jsut straight platformer. But if megaman counts I would probably say a one of the Mega Mans, (currently im on the 3rd in the collection).

It's a super easy game, but I have a soft spot for Felix the Cat. Not nearly the best, I just wanted to mention it.

The definition of platformer is constantly changing so it's hard to say, what about Ninja Gaiden. Or the original Batman.

For some reason, I used to love Duck Tales.

Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. lol

The Noid game was fun in it's stupidity. Avoid the Noid.

I second Adventure Island 3, amazing game.

 

[Journey]

Low G Man was the best for me.........that game stole DAYS from my life.....

 

[catacasa]

What, no Castlevania? Got my vote.

 

[xzafixz]

Castlevania, all the way.

The Duck Tails game was awesome. Though, I might have to vote for Rygar. It wasn't *exactly* a plaformer, but you did jump from platform to platform. And there was nothing like beating it.

I really liked Wizards and Warriors but I don't know if that is a platformer...

That game was awesome. I wish my NES worked so I could go back and play it. I know we have emulators and all now, but nothing beats sitting down with your NES and beating the game. Saving state is just lame. Its all about beating it in one sitting.

any capcom game (the ones with the purple border on their label)
the best of which are: megaman 2, ducktales and rescue rangers

Maybe for the reason DuckTales rules?

 

[Rodimus]

Shadow of the Ninja, 2-Player ninja action!!!

I'd normally vote for Mega Man 2 but I'll stay away from the cliche'

 

[greatwhitedope]

either batman or bionic commando

 

[drone8888]

I agree with all of you!

I also would like to mention Battle of Olympus!!!!

Don't forget Rygar, and Monster Party.

 

[bfg9k]

Bionic Commando...best...game...ever

I have to second this. For lo these many years I have extolled the virtues of DuckTales.

 

[-Never4ever-]

this may seem wierd, but I vot ducktales (Part 2 was just as good).

the first good licensed game.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master gets my vote and Adventure Island 3 at a close second place.

 

[DenisDFat]

Clash at Demonhead/Adventure Island 3

the need to re-release AI2&3 instead of 50 variuons of the unimpressive first one.

 

[Spacepest]

I'm not sure if Kid Icarus counts...because there are some parts where you get to fly in the game.

This is one title I wish I still owned for my NES.

Zen: Intergalatic Ninja!!!

Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers.
